Checkin for 2.14 release. Still some problems; this cannot yet
be used for 2.14 documentation due to inconsistencies.

- <glossdef>
- <para>A Product is a broad category of types of bugs. In general, there are several Components to a Product. A Product also defines a default Group (used for Bug Security) for all bugs entered into components beneath it.</para>
- <example>
- <title>A Sample Product</title>
- <para>A company sells a software product called "X". They also maintain some older software called "Y", and have a secret project "Z". An effective use of Products might be to create Products "X", "Y", and "Z", each with Components "User Interface", "Database", and "Business Logic". They might also change group permissions so that only those people who are members of Group "Z" can see components and bugs under Product "Z".</para>

- <glossterm>Q/A</glossterm>
- <glossdef>
- <para>"Q/A" is short for "Quality Assurance". In most large software development organizations, there is a team devoted to ensuring the product meets minimum standards before shipping. This team will also generally want to track the progress of bugs over their life cycle, thus the need for the "Q/A Contact" field in a Bug.</para>

+ <para>
+ Apache web server, and other NCSA-compliant web servers,

+ are used to restrict access to certain files which would
+ otherwise compromise your installation. For instance, the
+ <filename>localconfig</filename> file contains the
+ password to your database. If this information were
+ generally available, and remote access to your database
+ turned on, you risk corruption of your database by
+ computer criminals or the curious.
